Anniegirl, central tourist office in Banff is a good place to start if you want to stay there.

Colin, I'd forgotten about allura, but I suppose it depends where they're planning on going.

Thanks for that, we haven't really got any plans as we keep changing our minds. Currently we are thinking of Kicking Horse, Panorama, Kimberley and Fernie. But as we went to Panorama and Kimberley last year, and love Sun Peaks, Big White etc we keep thinking that maybe we could drive over there instead. I am not sure if that is do-able though.

Anniegirl, Panorama is in Intrawest resort (I think), so they'll have a central agency for accommodation.

Anniegirl, We've done BW/SS as a side trip from Panorams (basically got a late deal, accom included at Panaorma for less than the cost of flights) - but we hitched a lift back to Calgary with the tour op transfers a week early, and had booked flights from Calgary on to Kelowna. You could look at owner direct as well for those.

apparently you can claim the tax back on canadian hotel fees, i saw it on the louise site. Only applicable if you pay direct

Bookfor Friday Saturday nights , probably wing it for the rest - most ski towns have plenty of motels. Disclaimer - school holidays may impact this.

You know it makes sense.
|

Don't forget but midweek most places have ski and stay deals especially during quiet times, so remember to ask.

Only the GST (which is only one of the two taxes) - and even that is changing from April this year, so get in quick if you want to claim the rebate.

I find that getting a room is not usually a problem if its not the weekend or a holiday, there is a hostel in Banff too. Fernie is a great Mtn. if your intermediate level or up and if you want hard core there is a little hill called Castle east of Fernie. Nelson B.C. is a great town and has Whitewater just out of town and near the border is Red Mtn. another fun hill. Usually ski 2-3 areas in Alberta/BC every year. have Fun it's snowing
